The numbers for Ashlandia on this Sunda morning of March 2, 2025, are 43 F and 50 F, and the word is showers. Were this a jigsaw puzzle, there Twouldn’t be any blue sky pieces. Everything shimmers with a sheen planted by showers that began yesterday just before midights and stayed constant until an hour ago.
Today’s music, brought to me by The Neurons, is “The Long Run” by the Eagles. This easy-going rocker was let loose on the public in 1979 and quickly ascended to a rock classic staple. First, it was by a very successful country-rock-pop group. Second, the era was heavy with disco and punk influence, making rock of this nature more infrequent. Third, it has mellow hooks. Its straightforward lyrics makes it easy to sing along with. Then, its lyrics about relationships reflect what a lot of us wonder: who’s going to make it? What’s going to happen? We’ll find out in the long run.
Which brings us to the Great Undoing of 2025. What’s going to happen? Will the U.S. survive as a democratic republic? Will the ship be righted? We’ll find out in the long run.
“Saturday Night Live” captured the essence of the PINO Trusk White House, especially in regards to Elon Reeve Musk’s behavior, the meeting with President Zelensky, and the announcement about a new PINO Trusk program, DOUCHE. It’s funny but also stirs anger because SNL captures and conveys the vast impression left by this set of idiots.
Butter Butt, aka Papi the ginger blade, is here for a visit and my coffee is chillin’, so movin’ on. Hope your day works out to your advantage. Time to rock. Cheers

A band I have not seen, and wish I had.
Oddly enough I saw Joe Walsh perform Rocky Mountain Way on a TV show called The Old Grey Whistle Test before I was even aware of the Eagles.
I do have their greatest hits album though.

I was thinking about your Genesis comments. As I was with Genesis, I was an uneven Eagles fan. For Genesis, they had some odd songs under Peter Gabriel’s leadership. With Collins as vocal lead, they became much more pop. Either way, they never fit my taste’s bandwidth quite right.
Same kind of thing with the Eagles. They started too country for my flavors. I was a James Gang fan and a Joe Walsh fan before I was an Eagles fan. While I enjoy many later Eagles offerings, I still prefer Walsh as a solo act over them. Cheers, Michael
